President Joe Biden suggested the Second Amendment has had limits from day one, during his Wednesday speech on crime and gun violence.
“The Second Amendment from the day it was passed limited the type of people who own a gun and what type of weapon you could own,” Biden said.

As usual.
That doesn't matter. What matters is pushing that narrative.
Yes, and we remember how the Meathead lectured to Archie circa 1971 in a similar way about how that amendment was worded and intended. Give me strength.
More bullshiite from pedoJoe Bidementia.
A long rifle was the AR-15 of the American Revolution.
““The Second Amendment from the day it was passed limited the type of people who own a gun...”
He’s an imbecile. I guess he never learned anything in school. I be Jill is even worse. She has an education degree. Guaranteed ignorance there.
Not only could you buy one (or 20 to oufit your ship), you could also build your very own ‘ghost cannon’ for those troublesome British neighbors.
What you sayin’ Joe? The Constitution is stare decisis? But only as you see what it means?
Limits are not in his purview.
He is not a judge or justice. Biden is simply an incompetent pretender to the presidency.
Maybe someone needs to translate in Chinese “shall not be infringed” to Joebama
Lol. People owned cannons back then.
Actually you COULD buy a cannon. There was also made a plow with a cannon built into it for farmers’ self defense.
“”You couldn’t buy a cannon,” he added.”
= = =
Didn’t have to.
Make one, ‘liberate’ one, lots of ways.
The “type” of people?
I must have missed that in Civics....
You really need to read the 1982 Senate report on the 2nd Amendment. I have a paper copy. You will see why it is suddenly out of print and highly suppressed.
Here is a copy from another source.
https://guncite.com/journals/senrpt/senrpt.html
“The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.”
19th century cases
16. * Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878).
“If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the (p.17)penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege.”
17. * Jennings v. State, 5 Tex. Crim. App. 298, at 300-01 (1878).
“We believe that portion of the act which provides that, in case of conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the county the weapon or weapons so found on or about his person is not within the scope of legislative authority. * * * One of his most sacred rights is that of having arms for his own defence and that of the State. This right is one of the surest safeguards of liberty and self-preservation.”
18. * Andrews v. State, 50 Tenn. 165, 8 Am. Rep. 8, at 17 (1871).
“The passage from Story (Joseph Story: Comments on the Constitution) shows clearly that this right was intended, as we have maintained in this opinion, and was guaranteed to and to be exercised and enjoyed by the citizen as such, and not by him as a soldier, or in defense solely of his political rights.”
19. * Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846).
“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”
And the SCOTUS case that led to the Civil War..
Are Negros citizens...Dred Scott
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who are recognized as citizens in any one state of the Union, the right to enter every other state, whenever they pleased.... and it would give them full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might meet; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.”
Most Privateers had cannons, and they needed them…
I heard Texas has gone full constitutional carry, no permit goes into effect Sept. 1st 2021. Come Sept. 2022 let’s compare crime stats before and after. I’m betting crime nose dives faster than Michael Avenattis law career, it will be the end all to arguments by the gun control fascists, and it should be forever be shoved down their throats - gun laws don’t work and in fact increase crime, “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”. Democrats with their single digit IQs will always fail against the genius of the founders.
Correct.
Do you suppose there were limits to his weaponry?
I once had a discussion with a friend who had sympathies for the leftist position on the 2nd Amendment. He said that the Constitution does not grant the “right to bear arms”. I told him he was correct. It does not. You wouldn’t want it to. Rights are pre-existing, and inalienable. They cannot be taken away, except by Constitutionally mandated due process.
No piece of paper, no matter how important or revered, can guarantee our rights. God does that. He does it by the fact that you and I are born and live as human beings. The Constitution says that there shall be NO legislation made by any legislature that infringes upon those rights. This is clear as a bell, to any sane and mentally competent American citizen. This apparently does not include Joe Biden.
